Posted by Mike Fedzen --Previous Message-- Well, there is no such as a eastern ringneck snake, 5 sub-species of ringneck snakes can be found in the east, and determining which sub-species the pet store has in stock, will determine what you will need to keep it successfully. The sub-species are different, there are major differences in size, strength of their venom, diet and sexual maturity. Go to the pet store, and get me a good description of what the snakes look like, ring, belly, dorsal, tail, and size. Keeping a ringneck snake with another herp is not the smartest thing to do. One would most likely try to eat any newt, any frog, any lizard in their enclosure, depending on sub-species of course. Mike
